A massive cyberattack is taking down major websites across the internet. According to Hacker News and reports, some of the sites affected include:
- DYN - Twitter - Etsy - Github - Soundcloud - Spotify - Heroku - Pagerduty - Shopify - Okta - Zendesk and Business Insider !
Internet users around the world, but mostly in the US, reported that some top websites were not loading on Friday morning.
The affected sites include Amazon, Twitter, Netflix, Etsy, Github, and Spotify.
The issue is currently ongoing.
It was mostly resolved at 9:20 a.m. ET, but at 12:07 p.m. ET, the issue started to crop up again, according to one of the companies at the center of the apparent cyber attack.
At 4:16 p.m. ET, Dyn said that it was facing a third wave of attacks, CNBC reported.
The issue appears to have something to do with DNS hosts — in particular, Dyn, one of the biggest DNS companies.
Domain Name Servers are a core part of the internet's backbone. They translate what you type into your browser —www.businessinsider.com, for example — into IP addresses that computers can understand.
Dyn said on Friday that it suffering a DDoS attack, or a distributed denial of service. That basically means hackers are overwhelming Dyn's servers with useless data and repeated load requests, preventing useful data — the Twitter IP address, for example — from getting through.
"The purpose of this attack is to overload the service in any way possible and make it stop working or be unreachable. In this case it was not Twitter or Github that got overloaded, those services work totally fine, but a service allowing you to reach them got overloaded," Adam Surak, site reliability engineer at Algolia.com told Business Insider.
Who is responsible?No group has taken credit for the DDoS attack yet, and Dyn says no attacker has contacted it.
The Department of Homeland Security is monitoring the attack, Politico's Eric Geller reports. The FBI is also investigating, according to Reuters.
The attack does not seem to be state-sponored or directed, a senior US intelligence official told NBC News.
Dyn says that the attacks are "well planned and executed, coming from tens of millions of IP addresses at the same time." One of the sources of the attack is internet-connected products like printers, DVRs, and appliances, often called the "internet of things."
Code to wage DDoS attacks by hacking the internet of things was released earlier this month.
WikiLeaks says the attack is being done in support of its founder Julian Assange. Brian Krebs, a writer who was the first person to be hit with a internet of things DDoS, believes that criminals are extorting internet infrastructure companies and threatening them with DDoS.
He says that a trusted source tells him that there was "chatter in the cybercrime underground" discussing a plan to attack Dyn.
"Mr. Assange is still alive and WikiLeaks is still publishing. We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet. You proved your point," Wikileaks tweeted.
If you're having issues:Some people online seem to think this walkthrough and Apple's support page to use OpenDNS can help mitigate the problems.
Timeline of the attacks:Here's how the day has unfolded, according to Dyn, the company being attacked.
7:10 a.m. ET:
"Starting at 11:10 UTC on October 21th-Friday 2016 we began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure. Some customers may experience increased DNS query latency and delayed zone propagation during this time. Updates will be posted as information becomes available."
8:45 a.m. ET:
"This attack is mainly impacting US East and is impacting Managed DNS customer in this region. Our Engineers are continuing to work on mitigating this issue."
9:36 a.m. ET:
"Services have been restored to normal as of 13:20 UTC."
As of 12:06 p.m. ET, the attack had returned:
"As of 15:52 UTC, we have begun monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure. Our Engineers are continuing to work on mitigating this issue."
12:48 p.m. ET:
"This DDoS attack may also be impacting Dyn Managed DNS advanced services with possible delays in monitoring. Our Engineers are continuing to work on mitigating this issue."
1:53 p.m. ET:
"Our engineers continue to investigate and mitigate several attacks aimed against the Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure."
2:23 p.m. ET:
"Dyn Managed DNS advanced service monitoring is currently experiencing issues. Customers may notice incorrect probe alerts on their advanced DNS services. Our engineers continue to monitor and investigate the issue."
2:52 p.m. ET:
"At this time, the advanced service monitoring issue has been resolved. Our engineers are still investigating and mitigating the attacks on our infrastructure."
3:44 p.m. ET:
"Our engineers are continuing to investigate and mitigate several attacks aimed against the Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure."
4:37 p.m. ET:
"Our engineers continue to investigate and mitigate several attacks aimed against the Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure."
4:59 p.m. ET:
"Our engineers are continuing to investigate and mitigate several attacks aimed against the Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure."
CNBC reported that Amazon investigated the issue as well, although it eventually found the issue to be with the Dyn attack. "Amazon & DynDNS investigating internet outage reports on east coast of U.S. amid reports of major websites not working properly," it tweeted.
Earlier this month, the United States transferred its oversight of DNS to an international non-profit group, a move that had been more than 20 years in the making. Read more here :

"MI RESUMEN PERSONAL" DEL ESTUDIO DEL LIBRO DE CONGREGACION
SEMANA DEL 17. OCTUBRE 2016....Los Estudiantes de la Biblia comprendieron el significado de Isaias 61 que mostraba que un ungido es un PREDICADOR y quien no predicase no podía considerarse ungido.
Mas pronto que tarde Russell y sus colaboradores imprimieron un tratado trimestral que enviaron a los lectores de la ATALAYA, para que las REPARTIERAN GRATUITAMENTE. Llevaban impresa información teológica según iban entendiendo. A base de mapas y andar a los territorios, iban consiguiendo pedidos de los tomos de los ESTUDIOS DE LAS ESCRITURAS, que al no tener automóviles, alquilaban un carro y un caballo para entregarlos.
La predicacion a nuestro prójimo es imprescindible para contar con la aprobación de Jesús ya como Rey del Reino. ¿Es la predicacion el centro de mi vida, haciendo sacrificios si es preciso?
JUAN vio una GRAN SEÑAL en una visión que anticipaba lo que ocurriría en 1914. Pudo ver UNA MUJER, la esposa simbólica de Jehova, la parte celestial de la organización de Jehova. La mujer da a luz un bebe que pastoreara las naciones y en el momento del nacimiento, el niño es protegido por Jehova. HABÍA NACIDO EL REINO MESIÁNICO. Satanás no soporto este acontecimiento que marcaba el inicio de su fin, por lo que lucho contra Miguel y los ángeles leales. Satanás y sus colegas, fueron arrojados RESTRINGIDOS A LA TIERRA.
Llegado 1914, Satanás comenzó su campaña de hostigamiento a la humanidad. Aunque la I Guerra Mundial comenzó antes de la caída de Satanás, es una indicación de que 1914 fue el principio de los últimos días. En el cielo, el vacío que dejo Satanás se lleno con gran alegría al ver a Jesús ya coronado como Rey que se proponía ayudar a su pueblo purificando a sus ovejas.
El refinamiento al que sometió Jesús a su pueblo fue muy estricto tal y como profetizo Malaquias, como un fuego purificador. Los Estudiantes de la Biblia soportaron persecución durante la Guerra Mundial
La muerte del hermano Russell abrió la puerta a discordias entre los miembros de la congregación, que adoraban a personas mas que a Dios y consideraron la obra acabada. la apostasía dividió la organización.
Una enorme ilusión espiritual corría entre los hermanos en 1914, que sabían claramente que los tiempos de las naciones habían terminado. Ahora esperaban que en minutos, Cristo se llevase a su novia a los cielos, es decir, los ungidos. Pasado ese tiempo sin que eso sucediese, insistieron en expectativas sin base, como pensar que en 1918 acabaría la predicacion. Muchos abandonaron la Verdad.
1918 fue clave en saber quienes estaban a favor de Cristo y no de hombres. Rutherford y 7 hermanos mas fueron arrestados y condenados a largas condenas de cárcel. La obra se paralizo. Los pocos que aun predicaban sufrieron ataques de Babilonia.

STUDY BOOK WORLD CONGREGATION
EPISODE 2
Paragraphs 29 and 30
29, 30. a) What effect did on Earth the birth of the Messianic Kingdom? b) What effect did in heaven?
29 Long before 1914, the Bible Students had claimed that this year would mark the beginning of a time of trouble. But even they how accurate that prediction would be imagined. As indicated by the vision of the apostle John, Satan begin since then to have an even greater influence on mankind: "Woe to the land and sea !, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short space of time "(Rev. 12:12). World War I broke out in 1914, and the sign of Christ's presence as King began to be fulfilled worldwide. It was the beginning of "the last days" of this system of things (2 Tim. 3: 1).
30 On the other hand, in the sky there was great joy: Satan and his demons were cast out of there forever! John's account says: "Because of this, rejoice, you heavens and you who reside in them!" (Rev. 12:12). Now that the skies had been cleaned and Jesus Christ crowned King, the Messianic Kingdom was ready to act for the people of God on Earth. What would you do first? As we saw at the beginning of the chapter, Christ, in his role of "messenger of the covenant" he would begin refining, or purifying, the servants of God. What would this mean?
DRAWING NOTE ----------------
In 1914, the Bible Students began to recognize the sign of the invisible presence of Christ

ESTUDIO MUNDIAL LIBRO CONGREGACIÓN
CAPITULO 2
PARRAFOS 29 Y 30
29, 30. a) ¿Qué efectos tuvo en la Tierra el nacimiento del Reino mesiánico? b) ¿Qué efectos tuvo en el cielo?
29 Mucho antes de 1914, los Estudiantes de la Biblia habían afirmado que ese año marcaría el principio de un tiempo de angustia. Pero ni siquiera ellos se imaginaban lo exacta que sería esa predicción. Como indicaba la visión del apóstol Juan, Satanás comenzaría desde entonces a tener una influencia aún mayor en la humanidad: “¡Ay de la tierra y del mar!, porque el Diablo ha descendido a ustedes, teniendo gran cólera, sabiendo que tiene un corto espacio de tiempo” (Rev. 12:12). La Primera Guerra Mundial estalló en 1914, y la señal de la presencia de Cristo como Rey comenzó a cumplirse a nivel mundial. Era el inicio de “los últimos días” de este sistema de cosas (2 Tim. 3:1).
30 Por otro lado, en el cielo hubo gran alegría: ¡Satanás y sus demonios habían sido echados de allí para siempre! El relato de Juan dice: “A causa de esto, ¡alégrense, cielos, y los que residen en ellos!” (Rev. 12:12). Ahora que los cielos habían sido limpiados y Jesucristo coronado rey, el Reino mesiánico estaba listo para actuar a favor del pueblo de Dios en la Tierra. ¿Qué haría primero? Como vimos al inicio del capítulo, Cristo, en su papel de “mensajero del pacto”, comenzaría refinando, o purificando, a los siervos de Dios. ¿Qué implicaría esto?
NOTA DEL DIBUJO----------------
En 1914, los Estudiantes de la Biblia comenzaron a reconocer la señal de la presencia invisible de Cristo

Kiwi fruit
in Topics
Kiwi fruit is exceptionally high in vitamin C, in fact it contains even more vitamin C than an orange. It also contains high amounts of vitamins E, A, & K as well as flavonoids, antioxidants, and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and iron. Kiwi is particularly beneficial for the respiratory system and has been shown to help shorten the duration of colds as well as to help prevent asthma, wheezing, and coughing. Kiwi fruit contains anti-inflammatory properties which is good for those who suffer with autoimmune disorders such as Lupus, Fibromyalgia, CFS, and Lyme disease. Kiwi seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for cognitive function and can help prevent the development of ADHD and autism in children.
Kiwi contains enzymes similar to those in papaya and pineapple which makes them useful in aiding in digestion and elimination. Kiwi fruit has also been shown to help protect DNA from mutating which is an incredible form of protection against illnesses and diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, osteoarthritis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Kiwi fruit is also known to help remove excess sodium buildup in the body which can help reduce bloating, swelling, and water retention. Kiwi is good for promoting eye health and for preventing age-related macular degeneration. It is also highly beneficial for those who have weak or sensitive immune systems and are useful at keeping ear, nose, and throat infections at bay. Kiwi is also great for diabetics by helping to keep their blood sugar levels under control and for cardiovascular health as it has been shown to help lower triglycerides or blood fat in the body.
Kiwi contains certain compounds that act as a blood thinner, similar to the way aspirin works which helps prevent blood clot formation inside the blood vessels and can protect the body from stroke and heart attacks. Green kiwi is the most commonly available variety found in supermarkets, however a delicious variety called Gold Kiwi (which has a golden color flesh) is a much sweeter, creamier, and less acidic variety that should not be missed. Kiwi fruit should be left on the counter to ripen until they yield under gentle pressure, like a ripe mango or avocado. Eat at least 3-4 ripe kiwi fruit a day for ultimate health benefits.
ENJOY ;-)

Para esto he venido al mundo, para dar testimonio acerca de la verdad (Juan 18:37).
http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2016/10/21
Jesucristo le dirigió estas palabras al gobernador romano de Judea, Poncio Pilato, cuando estaba siendo juzgado. Acababa de decir que era rey. Años después, el apóstol Pablo se refirió a este ejemplo de valentía de Jesús y dijo que “como testigo hizo la excelente declaración pública delante de Poncio Pilato” (1 Tim. 6:13). En efecto, a veces hace falta ser muy valiente para ser un “testigo fiel y verdadero” en este mundo de Satanás tan lleno de odio (Rev. 3:14). Siendo miembro de la nación judía, Jesús era testigo de Jehová por nacimiento (Is. 43:10). De hecho, se convirtió en el mayor testigo que Dios haya levantado nunca a favor de su nombre. Predicó con entusiasmo el Reino de Dios. El evangelista Marcos informó: “Jesús entró en Galilea, predicando las buenas nuevas de Dios y diciendo: ‘El tiempo señalado se ha cumplido, y el reino de Dios se ha acercado. Arrepiéntanse y tengan fe en las buenas nuevas’” (Mar. 1:14, 15). w14 15/7 4:1, 2

For this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.—John 18:37.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/21
When on trial for his life, Jesus Christ said those words to the Roman governor of Judea. Jesus had just identified himself as a king. Years later, the apostle Paul referred to this courageous example of Jesus, “who as a witness made the fine public declaration before Pontius Pilate.” (1 Tim. 6:13) Indeed, it sometimes requires great courage to be a “faithful and true witness” in Satan’s hate-filled world! (Rev. 3:14) As a member of the Jewish nation, Jesus was a witness of Jehovah by birth. (Isa. 43:10) Indeed, he turned out to be the greatest witness God has ever raised up in behalf of His name. Jesus zealously witnessed about God’s Kingdom. The Gospel writer Mark reported: “Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the good news of God and saying: ‘The appointed time has been fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent, and have faith in the good news.’”—Mark 1:14, 15. w14 7/15 4:1, 2

South Korea court frees Jehovah’s Witnesses who refused to serve in military...
Two South Korean men who refused to do military service have had their convictions overturned in a landmark ruling against the government.
Cho Rak Hoon and Kim Hyung Geun were freed by an appeals court in the southern city of Gwangju today. They had been sentenced to 18 months in prison for refusing military service at their trials, in June 2015 and May 2016 respectively, according to Amnesty International.
All South Korean men are required by law to do two years of active military service. Most go into uniform aged 18; anyone else has to complete their service.

Presten ayuda a los que son débiles (Hech. 20:35).
http://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2016/10/20
Tal vez sepamos por experiencia propia que recuperarse de una enfermedad grave puede tomar tiempo. De manera parecida, el cristiano que se ha debilitado espiritualmente por sus propios errores o por circunstancias muy adversas tal vez necesite tiempo para recuperarse. Es cierto que él tendrá que fortalecer su fe estudiando, orando y participando en las actividades cristianas. Pero nosotros, ¿seremos pacientes con él? Y mientras lucha por salir a flote, ¿estaremos a su lado mostrándole amor? Hagamos todo lo posible para que los débiles se sientan valorados y queridos (2 Cor. 8:8). Nunca olvidemos que cuando ayudamos a nuestros hermanos sentimos la felicidad que solo se siente al dar. También aprendemos a demostrar empatía y paciencia. Pero nosotros no somos los únicos que se benefician; toda la congregación se vuelve más cariñosa. Y, lo que es más importante, al “prestar ayuda a los que son débiles” imitamos a Jehová, quien considera valiosa a cada persona. w14 15/6 3:18, 19

Assist those who are weak.—Acts 20:35.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/10/20
You may know from personal experience that it can take time to recover from a debilitating physical illness. Similarly, a Christian who has been weakened by personal difficulties or very trying circumstances may need time to regain spiritual strength. True, our fellow believer will need to strengthen his own faith through personal study, prayer, and other Christian activities. But will we show patience until he regains his balance? And during that recovery, will we show enduring love? Will we strive to help those who are temporarily weak to feel valued and to sense our Christian affection? (2 Cor. 8:8) Never forget that as we provide support to our brothers, we experience the joy that only giving can bring. We also cultivate our capacity for showing empathy and patience. But there is more. The congregation as a whole grows in warmth and love. Above all, we imitate Jehovah, who considers every individual to be precious. w14 6/15 3:18, 19

A massive cyberattack is taking down major websites across the internet. According to Hacker News and reports, some of the sites affected include: read more !
- DYN - Twitter - Etsy - Github - Soundcloud - Spotify - Heroku - Pagerduty - Shopify - Okta - Zendesk and Business Insider !
Internet users around the world, but mostly in the US, reported that some top websites were not loading on Friday morning.
The affected sites include Amazon, Twitter, Netflix, Etsy, Github, and Spotify.
The issue is currently ongoing.
It was mostly resolved at 9:20 a.m. ET, but at 12:07 p.m. ET, the issue started to crop up again, according to one of the companies at the center of the apparent cyber attack.
At 4:16 p.m. ET, Dyn said that it was facing a third wave of attacks, CNBC reported.
The issue appears to have something to do with DNS hosts — in particular, Dyn, one of the biggest DNS companies.
Domain Name Servers are a core part of the internet's backbone. They translate what you type into your browser —www.businessinsider.com, for example — into IP addresses that computers can understand.
Dyn said on Friday that it suffering a DDoS attack, or a distributed denial of service. That basically means hackers are overwhelming Dyn's servers with useless data and repeated load requests, preventing useful data — the Twitter IP address, for example — from getting through.
"The purpose of this attack is to overload the service in any way possible and make it stop working or be unreachable. In this case it was not Twitter or Github that got overloaded, those services work totally fine, but a service allowing you to reach them got overloaded," Adam Surak, site reliability engineer at Algolia.com told Business Insider.
Who is responsible?
No group has taken credit for the DDoS attack yet, and Dyn says no attacker has contacted it.
The Department of Homeland Security is monitoring the attack, Politico's Eric Geller reports. The FBI is also investigating, according to Reuters.
The attack does not seem to be state-sponored or directed, a senior US intelligence official told NBC News.
Dyn says that the attacks are "well planned and executed, coming from tens of millions of IP addresses at the same time." One of the sources of the attack is internet-connected products like printers, DVRs, and appliances, often called the "internet of things."
Code to wage DDoS attacks by hacking the internet of things was released earlier this month.
WikiLeaks says the attack is being done in support of its founder Julian Assange. Brian Krebs, a writer who was the first person to be hit with a internet of things DDoS, believes that criminals are extorting internet infrastructure companies and threatening them with DDoS.
He says that a trusted source tells him that there was "chatter in the cybercrime underground" discussing a plan to attack Dyn.
"Mr. Assange is still alive and WikiLeaks is still publishing. We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet. You proved your point," Wikileaks tweeted.
If you're having issues:
Some people online seem to think this walkthrough and Apple's support page to use OpenDNS can help mitigate the problems.
Timeline of the attacks:
Here's how the day has unfolded, according to Dyn, the company being attacked.
7:10 a.m. ET:
